Denmark vs USA prediction

Ryan Warsofsky leads USA into battle and does so with a stacked squad at his disposal. Exciting young prospects like Chicago Blackhawks pair Frank Nazar and Alex Vlasic will be ones to watch, as will forwards Logan Cooley and Will Smith of the Utah Hockey Club and San Jose Sharks respectively. Utah skipper Clayton Keller captains the side. 

Denmark have yet to medal in this tournament and prospects for them are not good on paper when taking into account the standard of competition they are up against. Although USA are young, they remain dynamite on ice provided they show discipline and are well coached off the puck. Any outcome here other than a win for USA would be a surprise.
